10/10Absolutely wonderful experience! The restaurant boasts a prime location on a charming walking street in the old town, with a lovely outdoor seating area. The food was exceptional—delightful risotto, perfectly cooked eggplant, and a delicious entrecôte, all complemented by aromatic local wines. The personal service was impeccable, making for a truly memorable meal. We couldn’t ask for more in Arles!

5/10I’m sorry to say that it was quite a disappointment. We ordered Cesar’s salad and a moules frites - the mussels had unfortunately not been cleaned so the beard was still on almost all mussels. And 5 of the big mussels were bad and did not open. The service was quite slow and the chicken meat in the salad was incredibly dry. I had the baba au rum and that was dry beyond what a baba should be and no amount of rum could change that. But otherwise a nice place and the service was nice but slow.

2.5/10The Nightmare at Gaudina: Aggressive Waiter, Octopus Too Tough, and Lukewarm Risotto. My recent visit to Gaudina in Arles left me greatly disappointed, prompting me to write this one-star review. The numerous issues I encountered throughout my meal were unacceptable, to say the least. Let me start by addressing the appalling behaviour of the bald waiter, whose obnoxious attitude and unwarranted threats tarnished and already poor dining experience. When my wife and I decided to send back our main dishes, the Octopus and Risotto, due to the octopus being terribly tough and too chewy, and the risotto being lukewarm at best, we expected a reasonable response. However, the waiter responded aggressively and even threatened to involve the police, despite our justifiable reasons for the items to be removed from the bill. When we inquired why the items had not been removed, the waiter dismissively claimed that the risotto had been tested and deemed hot, implying that our complaint was unfounded. It is important to note that this information was never communicated to us after we had returned the dishes. This lack of transparency and accountability was highly unprofessional. Furthermore, the waiter's behaviour escalated to argumentative and confrontational, which was witnessed by other guests at the restaurant. Such behaviour is unacceptable in any establishment, especially one that claims to provide a pleasant dining experience. The service was not the only area that fell short of expectations. The main dishes took an excessively long time to be served, nearly an hour, which is far from acceptable. Additionally, the tabbouleh starter was bland and unappetising, lacking any semblance of flavour. We had to request salt to salvage its taste, but even then, it remained far from satisfactory. During our attempts to resolve the issue with the bill, the waiter's colleague reluctantly removed the Octopus charge but they insisted on still charging us for the risotto. Frustrated with this unreasonable stance, we decided to document the problem and seek reimbursement through our credit card company. However, when I tried to take a picture of the original and revised receipts for clarity, the bald waiter aggressively snatched the old receipt, crumpled it, and threw it behind the bar - as captured in a picture, which i'm happy to share or go to my google review. This action was utterly unnecessary and demonstrated his arrogance, obnoxiousness, control, and aggression. It also seemed apparent that his behaviour was not an isolated incident, as his colleagues clearly had the look of "not this again" on their face. In conclusion, my experience at Gaudina was marred by the unprofessional and hostile behaviour of the bald waiter, coupled with a lacklustre presentation, subpar food, and unreasonably long waiting times. I strongly advise against dining at this establishment, as the negative aspects overshadow any potential positives.

10/10A very nice night. The staff remembered me from a previous visit. A charming spot for a nice night. Tables on rue des arènes are a little more intimate for 2 diners.

8/10The dish of white Asperges was perfect ! Smile of their staffs was also perfect. The main dish, agneau et veau, was excellent ( veau was too much cooked.) My wife and I enjoyed a lot. We are coming back.

2/10Intolerable attitude! When they don't give you a table inside just because you made your reservation by internet. And let you out without any reasonable explanation! How could it happen when you have your reservation but you cannot get your table?
